Carrying high or low?

I was wondering how many of you are carrying high and how many are carrying low? With my first born and with this pregnancy the top of my stomach by my boobs is so hard but when I push on my lower stomach below my belly button it is soft! I don't know if this is the reason why I feel a lot of pressure when I'm standing up kind of like there is pressure on my ribs and I don't feel comfortable standing up due to this feeling. Anyone else has the same issue?
